Chapter 305: Rulers of the World

———

As the Gods left this world by rippling in and out of reality, Rumi and Jashin stared ahead with bafflement painted on their faces.

Before leaving, the three Gods had given Jashin meaningful glances, asking her with their eyes if she wanted to go back or not. Jashin was too stunned by the scene earlier to understand what their gazes meant and so they just left when they didn't receive any response from her.

Now that they were gone, though, they had questions. Both Rumi and Jashin turned to look at Neji who looked weirdly happy for whatever reason; some might say it'd be weird to not look happy after what just happened, but those 'some' would miss the point that Neji looked to be in love at the moment.

"What was that?" asked Jashin, looking at him cautiously. "You never told me you have some super strong being sealed inside of you?"

"Huh? Sealed? Ah, no." Neji turned to them, still smiling, and explained.

"She's my, uh, glucose guardian." Neji refrained from saying Sugar Mommy. "Each concept we intelligent beings come up with, has a personification, such as things like Creation and Destruction. One such thing is Luck, and this guardian of mine is the embodiment of luck that governs the Omniverse. She goes by the name Lady Luck."

"Ahh, right." Rumi nodded as she recalled the name. "It's that woman you spoke of earlier. Huh. Lady Luck?"

"Seriously..." Jashin still looked baffled. "First that card with such a thick death aura around it, and now this. How do you know so many strong beings anyway?"

"I don't know." Neji shrugged. "Anyway, now that this is over, I want to leave soon. I would have left right away, to be fair, but Lady Luck said she'll be gone for a while. I can't travel without her help, so I'll have to wait. In that meantime, I should initiate the main procedure behind making this world my praying house."

That would have been easy, very much so, if Neji had time in his hand to manage everything. People would accept him as their God and the world would enter a state of tranquil peace—if Neji had time to manage things. But sadly, he didn't, he needed to leave. Therefore, he needed someone else who would make things in his stead.

So, Neji came up with a quick answer to this problem.

As Neji the God of this newly claimed world, Neji needed a 'Pope'. He already had a Saintess in the form of Rumi, but Rumi wasn't the type of person for this job, more so when she was sealed for a millennium; she would hate being chained to such a thing. He needed someone else, someone who was already used to this so that they could effortlessly rule over this planet in Neji's stead.

Neji needed an Empress.

"—Hey, you lots!"

Just when Neji was having this epiphany, a gruff yet feminine voice yelled from one side of the empty terrain where Neji and the two girls were gathered.

Neji turned his head to the side where he blinked once he saw the huge, orange-furred fox glaring at him—though this time much more meekly compared to their previous encounters.

"Ah."

Neji waved at the fox.

"Hello there, good morning."

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, Kurama, growled as she dashed at Neji with a growl.

Inside Neji's heaven, in his divine castle, the girls were waiting worriedly once again. This time as well, Neji didn't allow them to observe what was happening down there, to not make them worry excessively, and therefore the girls were not up to date on what was going on in the outside world.
